Napoli is ready to return to the field for the Champions League, facing Villarreal this evening at the Estadio de la Cerámica. The Azzurri arrive at this match with high morale, thanks to the convincing 3-0 inflicted on Frosinone in the last championship match, a match which saw De Bruyne shine with a brace and Lang who scored the third goal. However, Massimiliano Allegri's team must now focus on European redemption, after their disappointing debut against Arsenal, where they failed to score points.
On the other hand, Villarreal comes into the match after a 1-0 defeat against Real Madrid, despite a good performance. For Napoli, tonight's match is crucial to start moving the table in the Champions League group. Allegri has already implemented a tactical change, switching to a three-man defense which paid off well against Frosinone, but he underlined that the attitude of his players will be fundamental, more than just the game plan. It is likely that the coach will propose a 3-5-2 again away from home.
In goal, the young Milinkovic-Savic will have the opportunity to demonstrate his worth, while the defensive line should consist of Rafa Marin, Rrahmani and Badiashile. On the lanes, Politano seems to have the upper hand on Spinazzola, with Di Lorenzo ready to start on the other side. Villarreal, for their part, will try to impose their aggressive game and high pressing, trying to capitalize on opportunities better than in recent performances.
One of the main changes for Napoli will be the possible return of Scott McTominay, who could find space as a starter after his return to the field in the last match. In the middle of the pitch, Gilmour starts slightly ahead of Lobotka, while De Bruyne, fresh from a stellar performance, should complete the unit. In attack, Hojlund remains the main point of reference, supported by Giovane, who has been included in the Champions list in place of the injured Favasuli. However, the options Neres and Lang are not excluded either, with Allegri who will decide the final choices in view of this important match, which is fundamental for starting to build the path towards the next phase of the European competition.
What happens now
After the match against Villarreal, Napoli will have to maintain high concentration to face the next championship and Champions League matches. Allegri's team awaits a demanding calendar and every point will be fundamental for their European path and for the season in Serie A. Tonight's results could influence future tactical choices and formation, especially if McTominay proves his worth.
